Si, I agree, they always appear as separate forms.

>no, i meant they appears like different applications

>>>Now I have this other problem :
>>>I have the first form set properly to work with transaprency, when it calls another form it should encrease its transparency and it works...but how should i set the second form that should appear on the top with no transparency and possibly on the same screen of the first one ?

>>Do you mean on the same screen with dual-monitor hardware?
>>When the first opens a second form, how about telling the second one how to behave - either via parameters and let secondForm act on its own.
>>Or by controlling it from inside the firstForm's code, e.g.

>>This.oSecondForm = CreateObject('formClass')
>>If VarType(This.oSecondForm) = 'O'
>>    This.oSecondForm.Move(Thisform.Left+50,Thisform.Top+50)
>>Endif
>>

>>
>>As for the dynamic transparency issue -
>>if all forms are based on the same transparentForm class, I'd probably try to switch transparency automatically in transparentForm.Activate() and .DeActivate().
